File Transfer
Greetings TC,
Neither MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger or Windows Live Messenger transfers are encrypted. Additionally, in later versions of MSN Messenger and Windows Live Messenger, they have the ability to relay a file through the Messenger server, without needing a direct connection from you to the contact. So that also might be a security consideration for you. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "TC" wrote in message ...
